Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anyone of you would go to Spa Italia on Sunday 16th of June 2019. I was there last time in 2012 with my 147 GTA and saw many impressive Coupes from the UK which encouraged me to build a trackday Coupe. So I would be interested to know if anyone would join in their Coupe.
Here's the link: http://www.spaitalia.be/

Best regards,

Philipp

Hi Philipp,
Yes we (the club) used to run SpaItalia weekends with dedicated track time for any European Coupe owner. Back In 2012 If I remember correctly, we had 60 cars attending.

However when the new organisers took over they did a very poor job of it, expensive and badly run, so we stopped going.

It's a great shame as it is a brilliant circuit and we had some great weekends.

I certainly hope they have improved the experience and look forwards to any feedback from anyone who has been there more recently.

Yes they certainly were great times and an Abosolute cock up by the new orginiser's .(in our opinion).
I think I can say for everyone that has been to Spaitalia ,that it's one of the greatest times we have had together as an fccuk group.

Agreed, Some of the best events I have ever been to have been at Spa, Sadly as above have suggested the last, and I mean last one I attended we spent half a morning at and walked out.
There was very bad attendance, it was unduly expensive, there was so little there stand wise and car wise.
Its a real shame as the track is amazing, the weather was normally great and the buzz you got from all the italian exotics was electric

If my memory serves me correctly I think it was 1 hr 40 minutes, I'll never forget that little road trip.

Thanks for all your replies!
I registered for it, there is a parade lap as well as three 30 minute track sessions included. The track sessions are devided into two categories: cars with less than 300bhp and cars with more. Not sure yet if I take the coupé or some other italian car.
Will let you know how it went.

Best regards,
Philipp

Last year was okay, in september though. But the club presence made it into something wonderful all those years with a chance to see everyone.

I think I'll come this year because the last time that I came was in 2015 and I want to see what has changed.

Is there any special price for coupe club owners?
